Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coastal management focuses on the preservation and sustainable use of coastal resources, addressing the challenges posed by natural processes, human activities, and climate change. It involves a multidisciplinary approach that combines scientific knowledge, policy making, and stakeholder engagement. On the other hand, nearshore hydrodynamics is concerned with the study of water movement and its interactions with the nearshore zone, which extends from the shoreline to the offshore region. In the context of global climate change, significant changes in nearshore hydrodynamic processes may occur and impact coastal ecosystems and human activities. A comprehensive understanding of nearshore hydrodynamics is essential for the development of sustainable coastal management plans.
Therefore, this Special Issue entitled ‘Coastal Management and Nearshore Hydrodynamics’ offers a comprehensive exploration of the interplay between coastal management and nearshore hydrodynamics by addressing key themes such as climate change, coastal hazards, infrastructure management, and policy making. The findings and recommendations presented in this Special Issue will contribute to the ongoing efforts to protect and preserve coastal areas worldwide, ensuring their long-term viability in the face of dynamic environmental challenges.
